Abstract
This paper describes the pumping schemes for ultra-wideband (UWB) WDM transmission using only distributed Raman amplification. By using numerical analysis based on the Gaussian noise model, we evaluate the amplification performances for all-Raman UWB-WDM transmission using higher-order pumping and/or forward pumping in addition to conventional 1st-order backward pumping. Moreover, we discuss the effect of forward Raman gain in 1st-order bidirectional pumping configuration, and clarify that the forward Raman gain should be carefully optimized taking account of both noise performance and nonlinear degradation.
